Around the world, the foundations of democracy, freedom and civil liberties are being eroded. What can be done?
Far-right ideologies are being embraced in the open, billionaires and corporations are flagrantly interfering with elections and once liberal countries are sliding towards authoritarianism. All signs point to a profound loss of faith in our democratic ideals.
Speaking about his eye-opening new book, For the People: Fighting Authoritarianism, Saving Democracy, beloved philosopher, A. C. Grayling joins The Fifth Estate host Sally Warhaft to unpack the forces that are undermining democracy worldwide – from gerrymandering and partisanship to corporate interference and tainted donations – and offers bold solutions to safeguarding ourselves against the rising tide of authoritarianism.
Presented in partnership with RMIT University.
